The Subtle Knife: Philip Pullman

Rating: 3 stars

October 8, 2006

The Subtle Knife (Philip Pullman) isn’t quite as good as the first book in the His Dark Materials series, but it’s still a decent read; I’m just not as interested in our world as I am in Lyra’s, and I wish the story would focus on Lyra as it did in the first book. I was also going to say that the Lee Scoresby subplot seemed a bit forced and distracting, but then I finished chapter fourteen and took all those wicked thoughts back. Beat the ending of the last Harry Potter book by a mile, that did.
